I slept not too bad last night but I had felt so drained yesterday. It was so humid in bed last night just had sheet and didn't really want that. No restless leg to keep me awake. Cos I felt so shattered and exhausted I fell asleep as soon as head hit pillow. Had lots of weird dreams but seem to have these a lot.

Dreams.  Over and over ..............

Does anyone else feel that they catnap at night?  last night went to bed at 12.15 seemed to be lying there until 3pm, then finally went to sleep until 7.30.  Not sure if I was lying there awake until 3pm or just napping.  Kept waking up hot then very cold, then hot again.  I hope its not like this again tonight.

You have described my sleep pattern for the last few months. Oh I long for a night of deep unbroken sleep.

Its strange because if this had happened a few years ago, I would have slept well the following night, but these days it goes on a lot of the time. If I did not work full time, I would probably go to bed for a sleep in the afternoon!!

Get a pill thingy from the Vet surgery

You can get pill-cutters at chemists - got one for Mum.

Does the chemist sell tablet cutters? or have you tried that already?
Funny thing I don't know if this is coincidence or not but last few days had aches so have been taking paracetemal at night time and on those nights when I've taken it I have slept better.

Susan I don't think that amount of zopi will harm cat and it probably wouldn't be interested in eating it anyway. Pill cutters defo available at chemists. You did well getting 6 hrs sleep on half a tablet. I was awake till 3 but slept till 9.

I slept but had dreams

Just a thought - paracetamol is used to lower your temperature, so it may well be helping with hot flushes (and hence, helping to sleep better). It also (obviously) helps with pain relief, which is something else that can keep you awake

At least the cat is getting some sleep!   It is such a small dose, the cat should be ok.  Is everyone suffering with hot flushes more than usual at the moment?  I've been really hot in the day today, and yet everyone is saying how cold it is!!

Ditto.
Daughter has heating on and I'm sitting by an open window.
What will we be like if summer returns?
Melted blobs I suspect.
I must be one of the few looking forward to winter.

What mg of Paracetamol do you take Mrs P? if it does lower temp that might help my flushes as suggested by Panda, i have O.A and get knee & hip pain so even after hot sweat as past, the OA pain sometimes keeps me awake, would like to try these for a few nights..will try anything to be honest

Susan my zopi are oval one's with a line through them, and i just break them in half by hand..but..the round one's are a nightmare to break, i always ask the Pharmacy for oval one's, last time they ordered them for me

Goodnight , I hope you all have a better nights sleep!
